As a hero that is fundamentally different from conventional creatures, once it is blessed by a hero template, it is easily impossible to make any changes to the existence of the hero template.
Even death cannot strip the hero template from an original hero. The undead creatures that can be transformed into dead heroes are also death knights that have hero templates and can be called heroes.
After being transformed into a death knight, the hero's original will naturally changed greatly, and even completely changed his previous concepts, but the hero template that existed in them would not be affected in any way.
Death will not have any substantial impact on the templates of these heroes. As long as they can be transformed into death knights smoothly, the templates and even the original memories of these heroes can be retained.
This is also the reason why the transformed death knight can directly have the identity of a hero. To complete the transformation of a death knight, you need a dead hero.
Some of the transformed death knights may even maintain their original heroic will due to the influence of these memories during their lifetime. However, due to the identity of the death knight, it may be difficult to implement the heroic will into their own practice. The same will happen over time. Change.
When the hero awakens his own will and obtains the hero template, the existence of the hero template has little to do with his own will. Instead, it serves as an independent existence, acting together with the hero's will on the hero himself.
The existence of the hero template brings potential to the hero that is unmatched by conventional creatures, while the existence of the hero's will has a completely different effect.
The only thing that has a profound connection with the hero's will is the hero's heroic specialties.
The existence of the hero's will can, to a large extent, affect the effect of the hero's specialties. Even if it is the same hero specialty, the effect exerted will be quite different according to the change of the hero's own will.
It can be said that the existence of a hero's specialties will be strongly restricted by the hero's will. Once a hero gives up his original will to become a hero, the first thing that is likely to happen is that the hero's specialties lose most of their effectiveness, until the ability is completely lost.
However, in some special circumstances, when the hero's will changes greatly, even beyond the level required to awaken and become a hero, the hero's specialties will not be lost because of this, but will change with the change of the hero's will. The effect has been improved, and it finally fits the current hero's will, but this is often difficult to achieve.
The formation of a hero's specialties is closely related to the hero's own will.
Since the types and effects of hero specialties are different, the only thing that can determine the true effect of a hero's specialties is the hero's own will.
The hero's specialties, when generated, will become more in line with the hero under the influence of the hero's will, rather than appearing completely randomly.
In addition to the hero's specialties, the activation of the hero template by the hero's will is more like an activation of one's own potential. Once this activation is completed, the hero template is no longer restricted by the hero's will itself.
At this time, the information detected from Degal undoubtedly made Tamik realize that Degal no longer had the heroic will of the past.
Perhaps it was due to the various disadvantages brought about by long sleep, or perhaps Degar had already decayed at this time. In Tamik's perception, Degar had lost his original heroic will.
Although he no longer has the original heroic will, in Tamik's view, Degar's strength has not declined much because of this. Once a battle begins with him, even Tamik will not be able to gain any advantage during the battle. .
As a high-level vampire king, the strength blessing brought by the hero template has already been fully demonstrated in Degar. The increased potential brought by the hero template has already been transformed by Degal into his own powerful strength.
Even if he loses his heroic will, it will not have much impact on Degal's current strength. The only thing that will be affected by the heroic will is Degal's heroic specialties.
In the previous battle, Tamik confirmed this. Even if he no longer has his own heroic will, it is not an easy task to defeat Degar in this state.
Tamik has a general impression of Degal's past deeds. But in the current view of Tamik, Degar no longer cares about all of this in the past. All he cares about is the vampire cloak he mentioned in his original words.
After hearing Degar's words, Tamik also had some doubts in his heart.
Before this, Tamik had never thought that there would be any abnormalities on the vampire cloak. According to Tamik's understanding of the vampire cloak, such a treasure that has existed for an unknown period of time, no matter what abnormalities it has, should have been exposed to the eyes of other creatures during these countless years.
At this time, Tamik could not understand the true meaning of what Degar said, and he was more confused than ever.
Noting Tamik's state at this time, Degar explained: "The vampire cloak is not a simple treasure... Inside this treasure, there is... a death energy that is far beyond my understanding. I believe, Even a true lich would find it difficult to understand the existence of these death energies..."
Hearing this, Tamik seemed to realize something, and took the initiative to look around at the things around him, and finally set his sights on the spiritual summoning tower in the field.
In Tamik's perception, the entire area near the Soul-Calling Tower and even the larger area within the City of Death were shrouded in a special kind of death energy.
Although Tamik had vaguely sensed this before, he did not think about it in terms of the vampire cloak. He only thought that there was something abnormal inside the Soul Recalling Tower.
At this moment, Degal's words undoubtedly made Tamik realize that the origin of this death energy might not be as simple as he thought.
While Tamik was thinking about this, Degar's words reached her ears again.
"After spending a lot of time, based on my understanding of the vampire cloak, this treasure is far from as simple as I imagined..."
"What the vampire cloak corresponds to... is probably a component of a combined artifact."
